A psychological novel of the English countryside through the interwoven stories of three lives, -- Maggie, a maid, Lottie, the nurse's assistant, and Hessie, governess of the Rectory children. To each comes the problem of passion and love -- each solves it in her own way. It could have been sensationally handled, but it isn't, and there is a quiet dignity in the atmosphere against which the drama is played. There is the element that your ultra-conservatives may not like, but the majority of your novel reading public will like it.
